3.11.10.10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sergey Dyasly <dserrg at gmail.com>
commit 3159f372354e8e1f5dee714663d705dd2c7e0759 upstream.
With LPAE enabled, physical address space is larger than 4GB. Allow mapping any
part of it via /dev/mem by using PHYS_MASK to determine valid range.
PHYS_MASK covers 40 bits with LPAE enabled and 32 bits otherwise.
